Has your Bible study ever felt more like a chore than a life-giving encounter with God?
Yep. Been there.
I’ve followed the plans, checked off the boxes, and still walked away feeling like I was missing something. Can I get an amen?
Here’s the deal: God never meant for His Word to feel like another item on your to-do list. It’s meant to be experienced—wrestled with, explored, and savored. It’s meant to ignite our curiosity, challenge our hearts, and propel us toward our calling.
But let’s be honest… sometimes it can feel like we’re just going through the motions.
That’s why I ditched the rigid reading plans years ago and started something new—a Spirit-led, off-road adventure into Scripture. And let me tell you, it has changed everything!
Now, instead of just reading because I “should,” I ask God where He wants to take me. I dive into passages that stir my spirit, and then I sit with them—and let them speak into my life right now.
One of the best examples? My deep dive into the book of Ruth. I didn’t pick it because it was next on a schedule—rather, I felt drawn to it. And wow, did God reveal some incredible things:
✨ How His providence works in the small, ordinary moments. ✨ How obedience paves the way for unexpected blessings. ✨ How divine connections are never accidental.
What if your Bible study could be like that all the time? Exciting, fresh, and aligned with what God is doing in your life today!
In this week’s episode of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD, I’m breaking down exactly how to break free from Bible study boredom and step into a meaningful, dynamic way of encountering God’s Word.
Here’s a sneak peek:
